With this family-style caravan to lead the way, Rick's hanging heart finally let go.
After that, there was nothing to say all the way, and at night, Rick took the initiative to help settle the Shatuomon and carry the goods, and soon won the favor of the middle-aged man, and finally agreed that Rick could follow the caravan.
Of course, as a price, Rick's pocket also has two less silver thalers.
Two silver thalers can buy a lot of food, but in the desert, the caravan can only keep Rick's food supply to a minimum, and even so, the young man complains a lot, and his attitude towards Rick has become worse.
"Leave him alone, waste one!" Wade did not hide his dislike for his son, set up the tent with his hands and feet, and said in a rough voice.
Little Wade paused, and continued to bow his head and fiddle with the bonfire, but the hatred in his eyes became more and more intense.
Rick didn't want to get involved in other people's chores, so he packed up his belongings and sat by the campfire, waiting for dinner.
The elder Wade traveled north and south and was very sociable, but for some reason he always had a bad attitude towards little Wade.
The young girl, who had always been very lively, was the daughter of old Wade, but not biological, but adopted, and her name was Tara.
Tara is like a little squirrel that can't be idle, always moving around, and the appearance under the veil is very ordinary, but full of youthful atmosphere. Especially those smart eyes, always full of curiosity about the world.
Tara's state immediately caught Rick's attention.
"You see, Tara is a little," said old Wade, looking at Tara lovingly, his voice a little muffled.
Rick nodded, Tara should be a little mentally retarded, but fortunately, he knows how to work and eat and drink, and he is not too strict.
"Dada, hug!" As if tired of playing, Tara sat down in old Wade's arms and turned her head to look at Rick, a stranger. Rick smiled kindly, and Tara immediately smirked as well.
Old Wade wrapped his arms around Tara, his eyes loving, and slowly stroked Tara's fluffy hair.
During the meal, the elder Wade was well-informed and did not let the dinner be cold.
After eating and drinking, the people began to rest.
Rick was lying in the tent, next to little Wade, who was tossing and turning.
Closing his eyes and looking at the two abyssal mantras in his mind, Rick's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed lightly: "Good luck! ”
Originally, I just wanted to find a caravan to go on the road, but I didn't expect to come across two items with an abyssal atmosphere.
To condense the Abyss Mantra, you need the assistance of Abyss Energy.
In addition to killing abyssal creatures and pleasing the will of the abyss, items with abyssal breath can also increase the speed of condensation.
The two abyssal mantras, which were still dim last night, have a hint of brightness at the bottom at this time.
As long as both of the two mantras are lit, Rick will be able to transform into a claw demon again. It's a pity that the abyssal aura of these two items is relatively weak, and it can only be consumed by Rick's recovery mantra, and it cannot be condensed into a new black iron mantra.
Two items, one in Old Wade's cargo and the other on Tara.
Don't think about the goods, old Wade guards himself like a thief. It's Tara's breath that makes Rick care more.
After majoring in monsters, in addition to his transformation, Rick was also stuffed with a lot of abyss knowledge by the will of the abyss. Through the two abyssal mantras, Rick slowly sensed the faint fluctuations in Tara's direction, and slowly had a plan in his heart.
Two days later, under Rick's deliberate pandering, he became more familiar with the old Wade's family.
Except for little Wade, who still doesn't want to see Rick, old Wade and Tara both like this fair-skinned young man.
"Old Wade, can I take a look at Tara's pendant?" While helping old Wade unload, Rick made his own request seemingly unintentionally.
Old Wade frowned, and a trace of displeasure suddenly flashed on his shrewd and sophisticated old face, but thinking about how he got along in the past few days, he reluctantly beckoned Tara over.
Tara was playing with a little sand lizard with a broken leg in the gravel next to her, and when she heard her father greeting her, she immediately clapped her little hand and jumped up to old Wade: "Dada, hug!" Before he could get closer, Tara's smart eyes laughed like a crescent moon and threw herself into old Wade's arms.
Old Wade smiled lovingly, and touched Tara's little head like a child: "Tara, my brother wants to see your pendant, is it okay?" ”
Tara's ignorant eyes moved, and her gaze fell on Rick's face: "Pendant? ”
Rick's cheeks lifted up and showed a sweet smile: "Yes, my brother wants to see Tara's pendant, is Tara willing?" As he spoke, Rick pulled out a white tubular rhizome from his back.
The rough skin on the outside has been peeled away, revealing only the white flesh of the stalk that oozes clear water.
Tara's childish temperament, when she saw the delicious food, she suddenly forgot the reluctance just now: "Give it to you, you will return it to me in a while!" ”
As soon as the pendant was in his hands, Rick's expression changed slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
After confirming his suspicions, Rick quietly returned the pendant to Tara, who had been looking this way.
After that, Rick didn't talk about the pendant again.
Two weeks later, the boundless yellow sand gradually gained a hint of greenery.
Rick moistened his chapped lips and stood on a sand dune and looked up, "See green!" See Green!! Rick looked at the green with excitement, and a hint of relaxation flashed in his eyes.
Old Wade was feeding the Shatuo beast, and when he heard this, he also cracked his mouth and laughed. To tell the truth, this kind of desert business is really not done by people.
Not to mention, even if you are experienced, you may get lost.
The reason why "Good Again" wants to open the desert trade route is that because of the proximity, it can reduce the transportation cost by more than half and the tariff that merchants hate the most.
But as I said before, the desert trade is really difficult.
Ordinary businessmen, as long as they are not frantic or desperate, will not choose this trade route.
The death rate of this desert trade route is too high, but the relative profit is more than twice that of the normal trade route.
So even though they know that the high mortality rate is terrifying, these hyena-like businessmen are still willing to pursue the exciting copper smell and embark on this road of no return for more than twice the profit.
Seeing green is good news for people who have been walking in the desert for at least half a month. Seeing green means that there is water, and having water means that you are about to get out of the desert.
In more than half a month, Rick's hair has grown to the point of normality. The two black iron mantras in his mind have also reached two-thirds of the bright color due to Rick's deliberate absorption.
It's a pity that old Wade is very taboo about the goods, so Rick has no way to start.
However, during this period of contact, several people can be regarded as establishing a certain friendship, at least the old Wade promised that if Rick had the ability to buy, those goods would be supplied to him first.
